Paper Strength Additive, Paper Flexibility Additive
RXSOL PaperPlast PVA is a water-based formulation containing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and a glycol-based plasticizer, developed for paper and paperboard surface treatment and coating applications. PVA contributes to film formation, surface strength, adhesion, and resistance to surface abrasion, while the glycol plasticizer improves film flexibility and helps reduce brittleness during drying.
The product is designed for applications where improved surface integrity, coating flexibility, and uniform film formation are required. Performance depends on the PVA grade, paper substrate, application method, and drying conditions.
- Water-based formulation suitable for paper processing.
- PVA film-forming and binding properties.
- Glycol plasticizer to improve coating flexibility.
- Supports uniform surface treatment when properly applied.
- Potential to improve surface strength and reduce coating brittleness.
